    I liked mine with lots of toe in because it solidified the images within the soundstage. I had the tweeters pointed directly at each ear. So left speaker tweeter, if it had a laser pointer coming out of it, would be aimed at my left ear, same for right. There really is no right or wrong with "regular" speakers (read: not SDA's) just experiment.

    The on axis and 30 degree off axis response of the dome tweeters are nearly identical, according to one review I read. Lots of wiggle room.
